Driving an Electric Vehicle in the Highlands

The shift to electric driving is well underway across Scotland, and here in the Highlands, it's easier than ever to make the switch. New electric vehicles offer genuine long-range capability, a rapidly expanding charging network across the region, and running costs that compare very favourably with petrol and diesel models.

Wherever your journey takes you, such as the daily commute across Inverness, heading up for a road trip along the North Coast 500, or covering the longer distances that come with Highland life, modern EVs are built to handle it all.

Right now, you can also save up to £3,750 on selected models at Dicksons through the UK Government's Electric Car Grant, making it especially good timing to explore what's available.

Why Buy an Electric Car? The Real Benefits of EV Ownership

Lower Running Costs

Switching from a petrol or diesel car to an electric vehicle could save you over £900 a year in fuel costs alone.* That’s because electricity is considerably cheaper per mile than petrol or diesel fuel, and when you charge at home overnight (particularly on an off-peak tariff), the savings are even more significant.

Throw in the mix lower servicing costs (no oil changes, fewer moving parts, less brake wear) and the long-term financial benefits of owning an electric vehicle make for a great case.

Ideal for Highland Driving

Concerns about the driving range of electric vehicles are totally understandable, but today's EVs genuinely put them to rest. Most new electric cars offer real-world ranges of at least 200 to 300 miles on a full charge. And let’s face it, that’s more than enough for typical daily driving in and around Inverness, and perfectly capable on longer Highland routes.

Scotland's public charging network has expanded significantly in recent years, with Charge Place Scotland providing thousands of charge points across the Highlands and neighbouring Islands.

Zero Tailpipe Emissions

Electric vehicles produce no exhaust emissions, making them cleaner for Inverness city air and better for the Highland environment as a whole. Scotland has an ambitious target to phase out new petrol and diesel car sales, so choosing an EV now means you're fully prepared for the change.

Government Support & Incentives

The UK Government's Electric Car Grant currently provides up to £3,750 off eligible new electric vehicles, and several models in the Dicksons range qualify.

Electric drivers also benefit from reduced road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty), no Benefit-in-Kind tax at higher rates for company car drivers, and exemption from low-emission zone charges in Scottish cities. Ask our team for the latest on what's available when you visit.

A More Enjoyable Drive

Electric motors deliver instant, smooth torque from a standstill, which means confident, responsive acceleration whether you're pulling into Highland traffic or overtaking on a single-track A-road. The cabin is quieter too, making long journeys more relaxed.

*Fuel savings are estimated based on 10,000 miles per year and the following assumptions: fuel costs priced at £1.39 per litre, petrol car at 39.5mpg, home charging at 24.86p per kWh, EV efficiency of 4 miles per kWh.

Electric Car Brands at Dicksons: Explore Our EV Range in Inverness

We stock new electric vehicles from five leading manufacturers, each bringing something different to the market. Here's what you'll find at our Inverness showroom:

Kia Electric Cars Inverness

Innovation and ambition sit at the heart of Kia's electric line-up. With the award-winning Kia EV9 (a full-size, seven-seat electric SUV) and the Kia EV3, named World Car of the Year, Kia is setting the benchmark for what an electric car can be.

Expect bold, distinctive design that is matched by cutting-edge technology, an impressive driving range, and the kind of build quality that's earned Kia a reputation for reliability across the globe.

Whether you're looking for a spacious family SUV or a stylish, tech-packed compact, Kia's growing range of electric vehicles has a model to match your lifestyle. The Kia EV range is available to view and test drive at our Inverness dealership in Scotland.

Nissan Electric Cars Inverness

Nissan helped bring mainstream electric driving to the UK with the original LEAF model, and the brand continues to lead the way with its next-generation Nissan LEAF model.

For example, the sleek Nissan ARIYA offers a refined, premium experience with an impressive range and sophisticated all-wheel-drive capability. Then there’s the new all-electric Nissan MICRA, bringing zero-emission city driving to one of the UK's most loved nameplates.

MG Electric Cars Inverness

MG has become one of the most talked-about names in the electric car world, and for very good reason. Exceptional value, strong real-world range, and a broad range of body styles have made MG one of the UK's fastest-growing EV brands.

From the hugely popular MG4 EV and the MGS5 EV SUV to the all-new, forward-looking MG IM5 and MG IM6, there's an MG electric car for every kind of driver.

If you didn’t know, MG is also home to the UK's first all-electric roadster - the MG Cyberster - designed for those who want their zero-emissions motoring to come with a little extra excitement.

Suzuki e Vitara Electric Car Inverness

Suzuki has built its reputation on reliability, practicality, and a genuine understanding of how people use their cars. Safe to say that the Suzuki e Vitara brings all of that to the electric era for the first time.

As Suzuki's very first all-electric vehicle, the e Vitara is a confident, characterful SUV that combines the brand's proven dependability with modern electric performance. It’s a strong option for Highland families and everyday drivers alike.

KGM Electric Cars Inverness

KGM is a brand built around capability, and its electric range is no exception. With rapid charging technology, intelligent energy management, and vehicles designed to handle demanding conditions, KGM EVs are well-suited to life in the Scottish Highlands.

For instance, the stylish KGM Torres EVX is an SUV with a strong character that’s perfectly suited to Highland life. And for those who rely on a pick-up for work, the KGM Musso EV is a genuine game-changer; it’s a fully electric pick-up truck that brings zero-emissions capability to a segment still largely dominated by diesel.

Charging Your Electric Car in Inverness and the Highlands

Charging at Home

For most EV drivers, home charging is where the majority of topping up happens. A dedicated home wallbox charger (typically priced between £500 and £1,000) will charge most electric cars fully overnight.

Some energy suppliers offer off-peak or EV-specific tariffs that reduce the cost even further. To help, we can connect you with trusted local installers serving the Inverness area.

Public Charging Across the Highlands

Scotland has one of the best public charging networks per capita in the UK. Inverness has a growing number of charge points in the city centre and along key routes, and the national Charge Place Scotland network provides coverage across the Highlands and neighbouring Islands, including on popular routes like the A9, A96, and the North Coast 500.

Choosing to top up at rapid chargers on longer routes can add around 100 miles of range in around 20 to 30 minutes.

Charging at Work

An increasing number of workplaces across Inverness and the wider Highland area are installing EV charge points, and workplace charging schemes may also be available to eligible employees. We can help you identify what may be available to you.
